Measure the Impact of Your STEM Learning Experiences<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Spend less time building surveys and managing data. Spend more time learning from your participants.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lawrence STEM Impact Hub is available now, making high-quality evaluation more accessible for formal and informal STEM learning organizations and the evaluators who work with them. The Hub is an online platform for building and running participant surveys to evaluate STEM programs. It draws on a curated library of research-informed measures to help you build a survey, collect responses, and receive results you can use to understand a program, communicate its value, and make strategic decisions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

High-Quality Evaluation, Ready When You Are<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Understanding a program’s impact should not require every organization to reinvent the evaluation process.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Our services save you time and money. Tell us about your program, choose the outcomes you want to measure, and the Hub creates a survey designed around your evaluation needs\u2014no item-writing required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you represent a formal or informal STEM learning organization or evaluate STEM learning programs, the Hub can help you gather credible evidence about what participants experienced and how a program made a difference\u2014bringing essential survey-building, data-collection, scoring, and reporting tools together in one streamlined service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Build a survey around your goals<\/strong>
Choose from a curated library of measures related to STEM interest, identity, belonging, confidence, environmental learning, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use measures grounded in research<\/strong>
Start with established survey scales instead of writing and testing every question yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turn responses into useful findings<\/strong>
Receive organized data and clear reporting designed to help you interpret results, share your impact, and identify opportunities for improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add context to your results<\/strong>
As the Hub’s shared evidence base grows, participating organizations can gain a clearer understanding of how their results relate to outcomes across similar STEM learning experiences.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

3. Collect participant responses<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/div>
\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Receive a survey link to share with participants. When needed, participant IDs can connect responses across pre- and post-surveys without collecting participant names.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

4. Learn from your results<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/div>
\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
